Palace have over the previous 5 games deserved to have won all 5 games so today was just rewards for an improving Palace side that are not playing like a relegation team and will soon be out of the relegation zone.

A dire game but the good thing is we did not lose and we edged ahead of projected position. That +1 has cheered me up having watched the dross.

Dross on Saturday, dross tonight = 4 points.

I want more dross.

The great thing about being as terrible as we were at the start of the season is the only way is up. We've been steadily improving and it's still easy to see how we can improve further.

Now RH has Benteke back and has some time available on the training pitch I think we'll switch to 451/433. RLC will thrive in the center, while giving Wilf a little more space should see him in the game more. Maybe a few of these draws will turn into wins.

We’re clawing out points, becoming harder to beat and building confidence slowly. We have to keep it going and pick up a few more wins though - teams like Brighton know that they can play for a draw and keep us at arm’s length due to the pointa cushion. If we can get closer to these teams in the table it will put them under pressure and I think the games will be more open.

Yep, although we were the away side, in the bigger picture a point is probably better to them than it is to us. We need to catch these teams.
